Treat your ingredients with care...

• Eggs — Make sure to whisk the eggs well to create a smooth and uniform mixture before adding them to the soup.

Tips & Tricks

• For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the soup just before serving.
• Feel free to customize the soup by adding other vegetables such as diced carrots or mushrooms.
• If you prefer a stronger Parmesan flavor, you can sprinkle some extra grated cheese on top of the soup when serving.
• To make the soup more filling, you can add cooked pasta or rice to the broth before pouring in the beaten eggs.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if needed.

Serving advice

Serve the Stracciatella Soup in warm bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a few extra spinach leaves for a pop of color.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, consider serving the soup in individual soup bowls with a drizzle of olive oil on top and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
